Development and Assessment and the four component directors. All members are voting members. n. Promotions Committee (1) Purpose The School of Medicine shall maintain a standing peer-review committee to review all dossiers of Affiliate Faculty candidates, for advancement in rank. Written recommendations favoring or opposing the granting of advancement in rank, including the vote and the reasoning, shall be forwarded to the Rank and Tenure Committee, and shall become a part of the dossier of the candidate. (2) Membership The School of Medicine Promotions Committee shall consist of nine members, with at least three Affiliate Faculty from the Phoenix Regional campus, and six of the tenured Teaching-Research Faculty and Clinician- Educator Faculty, all at the rank of Associate Professor or above. The Associate Dean for Academic and Faculty Affairs shall be an ex officio member without vote. The ex officio member of the Rank and Tenure Committee will have only an observatory role and will clarify rules and bylaws. The Dean of the School of Medicine shall not be a member. Current members of the School of Medicine Rank and Tenure Committee may not serve on the Promotions Committee. Department Chairs shall not be nominated or elected to the Committee. There shall be at least three members from the Basic Science Faculty and six from the Clinical Faculty. The Committee on Committees shall present at least two nominees for each vacancy, and the members shall be elected by the Affiliate, Teaching-Research, and Clinician-Educator Faculty from the Basic Sciences and Clinical Sciences, as appropriate. Elections shall be for staggered three year terms. Nominees shall be chosen to broadly represent all areas of the Basic Science Faculty and the Clinical Faculty, and no more than two elected members may be from the same Department, including those already on the Committee. Once two committee members represent a Department, other candidates from that Department with fewer votes, even though more than the next runner-up, shall be skipped and the next runner-up shall be considered elected. Vacated unexpired terms shall be filled for the remainder of the term by the Dean from the next available runner-up from the last election, considering the no more than two per Department rule. If no runner-ups are available, the Committee shall provide the Dean a list of nominees from which to choose.

chair from time of election to June 30 of the following year). An Associate Chair who must be from a campus other than the Chair, shall also be elected by the members of the committee at its first meeting each academic year. For any meeting the Chair may designate an Acting Chair. Only members having served one full year on the Promotions or Rank and Tenure Committee shall be eligible to be Chair. If a School of Medicine Promotions Committee member is initiated for promotion review, the member shall take a leave of absence from the Committee for that academic year, and this shall be deemed to be a vacancy for that year. If any member of the Committee, including ex-officio members, has any direct supervisory relationship over any candidate, or if any member has any actual or perceived conflict of interest, such member shall be excused and absent himself/herself from the meetings of the Committee during deliberations concerning such candidate(s). Such an absence shall not constitute a vacancy. Each candidate shall also be allowed one peremptory challenge of any member of the Committee, which shall not count as a vacancy. Two thirds of the voting members of the Committee who are not excused for conflict of interest or by challenge shall constitute a quorum. All votes concerning promotion shall be by secret ballot. All members of the School of Medicine Promotions Committee agree to refrain from discussing the cases brought before the Committee outside formal committee sessions, except with other committee members, or as otherwise duly directed. All recommendations of the committee shall be accurately summarized by the Chair of the Committee and reported in writing, together with the vote and the reasoning for the recommendations, to the Dean of the School of Medicine, and shall be included in the candidate's dossier. (4) Review Process Dossiers for review for promotion in rank shall be prepared and reviewed in accordance with the Handbook for Faculty, and the Guidelines for Promotion Affiliate Faculty Category. To assist candidates in the preparation of their dossier, the criteria for evaluation are given in the Handbook for Faculty and the Guidelines for Promotion Affiliate Faculty Category. Each candidate shall be evaluated in writing by the Department Chair, or by an individual designated in writing by the Chair or the Dean to perform such evaluation, prior to consideration by the School of Medicine Promotions Committee. The Office of the Dean of the School of Medicine shall contact at least six student references, and the six to twelve peer references, cited by the candidate, and these shall be included in the dossier of the candidate prior to consideration by the School of Medicine Rank and Tenure Committee. The Office of the Dean of the School of Medicine may add other available relevant student and course evaluation materials, as provided for in the Handbook for Faculty procedures.
